Children’s well-being depends, in large part, on the stability and well-being of their caregivers. Children understand and process events based on messages they receive from those responsible for them. Helping child caregivers process their experiences and develop resources for coping is the first step in increasing their ability to support children. By attending first to their own emotional needs, caregivers can be more fully present and attentive to the needs of children.
This workshop aims to provide a safe space for individual and group reflection on personal experience while building trust, identifying and amplifying individual and community strengths, and planning collaboratively for future community-led action.
